You can use your BuffOne card to avoid lines by checking out materials yourself at self checkout machines in Norlin Circulation and some of the branches. Public Patrons may apply for a library card at the Norlin Library Circulation Desk. Loan Periods Books circulate to undergraduate students for 28 days (four weeks) graduate students and faculty/staff for 180 days (6 months) with the exception of short-period loan items. The length of the loan period will be shortened if an item is recalled by another borrower, and the current borrower will be notified of the change. Bound journals circulate only to faculty and graduate students for 2 days and are non-renewable. Unbound journals have special restrictions. Returning Books During library hours, please return books to the appropriate library circulation desk. After hours, you may use the outside book drops. We encourage patrons to obtain receipts for books returned to CU Boulder Libraries. We discourage returning our books to non-CU Boulder libraries. Overdue charges are calculated based upon the date items are received at CU Boulder Libraries. Course reserve items must be returned to the lending library. Renewals Book renewals may be made in person at the circulation desk, by calling 303-492-7477, by e-mail, or through the “My Chinook” option in Chinook. Staff and faculty may renew an unlimited number of times, unless a recall has been placed on a title. Library notices are sent to students electronically by e-mail. A list of your current checkouts may also be accessed through the “My Chinook” option in Chinook. Overdue and Lost Charges Information on overdue and lost charges, as well as on requesting recalls and traces is available at http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/circulation/cpm/. University Libraries 184 UCB Boulder, CO 80309-0184 303-492-8705, FAX 303-492-1881, http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu Accessing Electronic Resources http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/research/findarticles/index.htm From “Find Articles & More” on the front pages of the Libraries website and Chinook, you can find links to research databases, full-text online journals, periodical indexes and abstracts, digital collections, directories, encyclopedias, dictionaries and other reference works, arranged alphabetically and by subject area. UCB students, faculty and staff may access these resources online from outside the Libraries Most of the Chinook databases are licensed solely for the use of current UCB students, staff, and faculty. These databases are available to anyone from on-campus locations. To access these resources online from a remote location, however, you must be authenticated as a CU-Boulder employee or student. Information on ways to access these databases from a remote location is available at http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/research/remote.htm, http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/research/configurations.htm, http://www.colorado.edu/its/accounts/index.html, and http://vpn.colorado.edu/. Bibliographers and Purchase Requests http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/services/bibliographers.htm. Bibliographers are responsible for the selection of books and journals purchased by the Libraries. Bibliographers welcome purchase suggestions from the faculty, staff, students, and general public. Because bibliographers are assigned subject areas based on their undergraduate or graduate training or experiential expertise, they provide bibliographic instruction to advanced undergraduate or graduate classes. They are also available for personal appointments to discuss research projects or problems. Carrels — Faculty and Graduate Students http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/about/carrells_fac.html Study carrels are available by semester to faculty and graduate students. Carrels are reserved on a first-come-firstserved basis. All regular full-time members of the University faculty on active status are eligible for faculty study carrels. Faculty carrel application forms are available from the Office of the Associate Director for Public Services, Norlin Library, N408. Graduate student carrels may be reserved by coming to the Circulation Desk and presenting a valid UCB ID. Renewal options are available. A $5 refundable key deposit is required. Interlibrary Loan http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/ill/how.htm Currently enrolled students, faculty and staff of the University of Colorado at Boulder may use Interlibrary Loan (ILL) to request material that is not available in the Libraries, including books, theses and dissertations, musical scores, some microforms, and periodical articles. Please check Chinook before submitting an interlibrary loan request. If you are requesting a book, check the Prospector database also. With a single search you can identify and borrow materials directly from 24 academic, public and special libraries and the Center for Research Libraries and have them delivered to Norlin Circulation. You will need a BuffOne card number (the last ten digits beginning with 500xxxxxxx) to order on Prospector. If the book you want is not available through Prospector or you need an article, submit your ILL requests electronically through ILLiad, which requires an Identikey user name and Identikey password. Once registered to use ILLiad, you may check your account at any time to check on the progress of your requests, modify any unprocessed requests, cancel a request, or request a renewal. Materials take 2 days to several months to arrive, and you will be notified via email. Photocopies will be sent to your campus box or home address, or posted to the web. Books will be held at Norlin Circulation. The loan period, renewal options, and any restrictions are determined by the lending library. Printing & Copying http://www.colorado.edu/cpi/index.html, http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/about/copyservices.htm In response to increasing costs and environmental concerns about wasted materials, the Campus Printing Initiative requires that all library users pay for printing from campus computers. A full-service copy center and self-service copy area are located on the second floor of Norlin Library, in addition to coin/vendacard-operated machines throughout the building and the branch libraries. Proxy Cards (for Teaching and Research Assistants) http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/about/proxycards.htm CU Boulder faculty may authorize a representative to check out materials on their account. A proxy card will be issued upon presentation of a signed letter on letterhead stationery which states the representative’s name and ID number, and the professor’s name and ID number. Proxy cards are valid for one semester and may be renewed at the written request of the faculty member. The authorizing faculty member assumes full responsibility for any library transaction made by the proxy in her or his name, including any penalties earned for failure to return recalled books, lost or damaged materials, etc. Reference and Instructional Services http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/reference/ Reference Services The faculty and staff of the Reference and Instructional Services Department serve the campus community and visitors by providing general and specialized research services and collections in the social sciences and humanities.

Instruction sessions are available during regularly scheduled class times and should be arranged at least two weeks in advance. Use our Library instruction Request Form: http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/services/instructionform.htm or call 303-492-7521. Reserve http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/circulation/ereserves/index.htm Faculty and teaching assistants may place materials on “Reserve” for use by the students enrolled in their classes. To place material on electronic reserve, go to http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/circulation/ereserves/ guidelines.htm and follow the instructions. To place non-electronic materials on Reserve, fill out a reserve request form available at the circulation desk of the appropriate library (Norlin, Media, or branch library). Circulation staff will secure books from the stacks, and recall or trace any books that are missing. Volumes in reference collections, journals, rare/valuable books, or materials from other libraries may not be placed on Reserve. If we do not own a book requested for Reserve, it will be ordered, but a timely arrival cannot be guaranteed. We can also include professors’/departments’ copies of books or journals. Faculty determines the loan periods (choices are 2, 4, 24, or 72 hours). Materials are generally available for check out within 4 working days. http://libraries.colorado.edu/screens/coursereserves.html To access electronic reserves, users will need to authenticate with an Identikey. CU photo identification is required to check out non-electronic materials at reserve desks. The check out period is typically 2, 4, 24 or 72 hours, and a patron may check out 5 items at one time. Electronic reserves materials may be printed, downloaded to a computer, or read on screen. To access listings of professors’ reserve materials, including links to their electronic reserves, go to the Reserve listing in the Chinook on-line catalog and search either by professor’s name or the course number. University of Colorado Technical Research Center http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/ctrc/index.htm The University of Colorado Technical Research Center -- CTRC -- offers document delivery and custom research services to businesses and professionals in Colorado and throughout the world using the University of Colorado Libraries collections plus an international network of library catalogs, online resources and databases. CTRC is an on-demand, feebased information service of the University Libraries.
